Jeffrey · Answer 1

C) deduct the amount of the gain from its net income when computing its net cash flow from operating activities.

Explanation:

Since Okada corporation decided to classify this investment as a trading investment, any gains or losses will be included in the cash flow of operating activities and not in the cash flow of investment activities. When a company acquires ans sells securities for the purpose of generating profit, those activities are classified as operating activities.
